Including texts by Aristotle, Plato, Archilochus and Hipponax, and others, the volume is divided into two distinct styles of ancient Greek poetry: elegiac, and iambic. Elegy is a sad, majestic poetic style that often mourns the death of a figure of heroic greatness, or more simply a poem of mourning, in which the greatness of the human fate and the tragedy of life and death are magnified. Iambic poetry, on the other hand, emphasizes on the lowly and vulgar aspects of human life, often featuring scenes of common life and unheroic situations. ** Postage for oversized and international shipping will be calculated by size and weight.
